Walking Dead Star Boldly Claims That Arcane Is Better Than His Own Show

As a die-hard fan who grew up with The Walking Dead and saw Chandler Riggs’ character Carl Grimes evolve from a young boy into a resilient survivor, it’s hard not to feel a tinge of nostalgia when I hear that he considers Arcane the best show ever. Don’t get me wrong, I love Arcane too, but I can’t help but wonder if Chandler might have forgotten about the emotional rollercoaster ride we all went through with The Walking Dead!

Key Takeaways

  • Chandler Riggs thinks Arcane is the best show ever, even surpassing The Walking Dead.
  • Riggs’ character, Carl Grimes, was a key figure in The Walking Dead until his untimely demise.
  • Despite The Walking Dead’s decline, spin-offs like Fear the Walking Dead have kept the franchise alive.

The Walking Dead was a captivating series that graced our screens for eleven seasons, yet the long-standing actor from AMC’s post-apocalyptic drama who portrayed Carl Grimes appears to believe that Arcane surpasses all others, even his own show. It’s been over 14 years since The Walking Dead first aired, introducing us to the iconic scene of Rick waking up in an empty hospital after being in a coma for weeks, clueless about the world’s transformation outside. Based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series, The Walking Dead excelled in transforming its “walkers” into both fearsome and menacing creatures, but more importantly, it masterfully depicted the true danger lying within its characters.

Even though Chandler Riggs, portraying Carl Grimes in The Walking Dead, was just ten years old during the first season, his impressive acting skills ensured he became one of the show’s most remarkable characters. This was due to a gripping storyline that demanded him to mature rapidly as he navigated through a perilous environment and dealt with the loss of his mother, taking on the responsibility of caring for his infant sister, Judith. Tragically, in 2017, Riggs had to say goodbye to the iconic character he’d brought to life over many seasons when The Walking Dead deviated from its comic book roots and chose to kill off Carl Grimes halfway through its eighth season.

The Walking Dead’s Chandler Riggs Names Arcane as the Best Show Ever

Chandler Riggs, known for his role in “The Walking Dead,” has been vocal about his affection for Netflix’s “Arcane” on his social media platform. In a post, he shared an enthusiastic viewpoint that “Arcane” is the greatest show ever made, regardless of whether it’s live-action or animated. Given the widespread acclaim and upcoming second and final season of “Arcane,” many share Riggs’ sentiment, but it’s surprising because he was part of a widely popular series for several years.

Indeed, it’s true that The Walking Dead experienced a decline in viewership during its later seasons, largely due to some questionable narrative decisions, including the controversial killing off of beloved character Glenn. However, Riggs appears to be so captivated by Arcane that he might have momentarily forgotten the brilliance of his own show. Fortunately for him, there are rumors that additional stories will unfold following Arcane, potentially delving into a vast array of League of Legends lore.

In relation to “The Walking Dead” universe, it’s been seeing a surge of offshoot series, with the likes of “Fear the Walking Dead” wrapping up and the continuous storyline featuring Daryl armed with his crossbow in “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon”. As for those curious about “The Walking Dead: Dead City”, also known as the spinoff focusing on Maggie and Negan, AMC has confirmed the production of a second season. Here’s hoping filming begins shortly!
